A story I Wrote About a Friend Named Buddy

With some good illustrations this could be made into a great story for the kids.

In a land far, far, far away, their lived a run of the mill train named Buddy. He was a happy-go-lucky train; in his earlier years he thought he was one pretty cool train but then reality set in. Well, Buddy never liked work much but, with a few complaints now and then he would go about pulling his load to and fro, always insuring to have fun along the way. Buddy would finish work as soon as possible so he could go out and party with the other trains. One night Buddy and his train friends went to a little dance down at the station to scope out a few lady trains. While doing some electric slide dancing, he saw this fine looking lady train and he thought to himself, “that's a train I want to burn some coal with.” (If you know what he’s saying.) She had a nice paint job and all the top of the line parts. So our dear friend buddy wanted to smoothly walk up to this train and mustard up all his confidence and say, “How you doing you fine little train?” Well not in those words, but he knew to bag a train like this he was going to have to work a little magic. But our great dilemma is Buddy didn’t have much magic. Buddy is still learning how to pull rabbits out of hats, which we all know is basic magic. In school Buddy learned about that one train, the one that said "I think I can, I think I can" yeah that train. So he was pumped up, kind of like, back in 91’ when he was rocking a nice pair of these Reebok’s! With the help from Buddy friends, that honestly weren’t much brighter than Buddy, they came up with a plan of asking this little train - you know, the one with the nice caboose - if she wanted to go out for a night on the tracks. Buddy sees this little train and makes a bee line right to her nervous, and perhaps trembling, maybe wishing that he would have just stayed home. But he didn’t, he was there she was there, this was his date with destiny, but that wasn’t her name actually. He made is approach, said “Hi.” Then he brought out the big guns and said, "Hey wanna go on a date?" Then came her reply, "I am dating another train." Buddy's hopes were slammed! Walking back to his friends, his head down failure in his eyes, Buddy now had a pretty good idea how ole Billy Buckner felt when he let the ball go through his legs. Poor Buddy, I guess, Buddy is much like a drifter he was born to walk alone.

Oh yeah, that story about the “I think I can, I think I can” train, yeah that one, it’s full of crap! This is now the best story on the train.

Maybe you should talk to ole Monty Holmes down there in moses. He could help you bag a train.

Ivy League universities are not good at getting students jobs, only grants to be commie nutty organizers. No business ever trusts such left wing graduates who don't believe in capitalism and become crooks because they are taught the only way business makes money is crooked so they seek to avenge their unemployability through their own crookedness. The universities consider real jobs and competition beneath them, so they want their little sissies to live off grants, even in the hard sciences or business. How many of their engineering professors have Professional Engineering certification? Almost none! They love foreign students because they slave up and don't expect professors to actually work for the tuition, like American students do. No middle class parent should consider sending their kids there, because these schools will destroy your entire family. The only school

Ya Jack Reylan, that's the same message I got out of the story too. Is that like spam? Not that I disagree with it. Cool story though Mitch. You should try and convert that train into a hover/time travel train like the one from back to the future III. Then you'd get some sweet train chicks with huge cabooses. Just don't let them see the size of your smoke stack.
